IoT Devices

[Christopher Jones <Christopher.Jones () UFV CA>]

Just wondering what others are doing concerning IoT devices like smart TVs, web cams, and even automated controls that 
may be connected to your university network?  Specifically:


1.       Do you have a formal security policy or guidelines for IoT devices?

2.       Are your connected IoT devices scattered across your network, or do you have a dedicated subnet for them?

3.       Are your IoT devices connected directly to the network or via other devices such as a cable/streaming boxes?

Given the rise of malware such the Mirai and BrickerBot botnets, use of IoT devices on campus has become a serious 
security concern.  Any responses would be appreciated.  Thanks.
